Last night, season 21 of Made In Chelsea came to a close. (OMG, can you believe the show has been on our screens for ten years now?) It was - obviously - quite dramatic, as the group started to mingle in the real world after filming most of the season in quarantined houses. Spoilers ahead, so stop reading here if you haven't watched it yet, but Sophie revealed to Fred that her relationship with Tom Zanetti was over and Miles and Ruby arranged a real life date.

One pair who have managed to stay together is James and Maeva, and speaking to Grazia, the reality star says this they've been able to work on their issues while living in the houses. 'This series of MIC has been a success for me, because I managed to get through some difficulties with my boyfriend,' she says. That's even though - due to filming bubbles - she was living with her ex, Miles. 'The beginning was a bit was a bit weird living in the same house with Miles, especially because we haven't seen each other for year and a half,' she says. 'But in the end, it was fine. He was just doing his thing, and I was doing my thing and we were being cold with each other. It obviously helps the situation. So that was obviously not really comfortable - because living in the same house with your ex is not something that you do in general.'

Maeva also says that throughout this series she got closer to Liv, Inga and Paris, who are all 'really nice women'.

But, as is always the case in Chelsea, there have been some spats. 'This series has been really dramatic,' she admits, 'because I've been through many ups and downs, especially with some arguments - with Sophie, with Emily. with Ruby - with basically everyone.' She also got into an argument with new girl Eloise, who called Maeva and Inga 'bitches' to Julius, as they had tried to speak to her about Miles earlier. 'My first reaction when Eloise said was, "Oh, this girl, she's got balls" which was pretty positive for me to think that - but at the same time, she didn't really know she didn't know us. So obviously I didn't accept it and I don't think it's pretty respectful to say those things. Me and Eloise are not talking and she's not my friend.'

Ooh, we wonder what's going to happen next series...
